I just found out that my next door neighbor came up with the "This is your brain on drugs" campaign.

[Kablooie]

He was in advertising and came up with the anti-drug campaign with the frying egg. When he retired they gave him a golden frying pan.

He died awhile ago and they had an estate sale recently. I found out about him from the people who were managing the sale. There were some videos of old ad campaigns also. He did campaigns for Reagan and Dukakis among others.

After he retired he became a fairly successful artist.

I wish had known all of this while he was living next door but he, and probably me too, kept to ourselves.

1. How cool, my dear Kablooie!

Yeah, too bad you didn't find out till now.

Did you buy the golden frying pan?

[Kablooie]

2. Nope. His son and daughter had already taken all the things they wanted.

I assume that's one of the things they wanted to keep.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Well, that makes sense.

Still, you got to live next door to him!

4. That poster

I used to have this poster in my office:

[Joe Shlabotnik]

5. I had that exact same poster on one side of my fridge.

And on the other side I had a "Hey Mabel, Black Label!" poster. Circa 1989.
